There is a plaque in the ground, showing the line of the Meridian, next to the northbound route 97 bus stop opposite Chingford Police Station. This is a few hundred metres from the obelisk on top of Pole Hill, which sits on the Meridian and was once used to line up the transept instrument at the Greenwich observatory. I'm told that there is another such plaque at Higham's Park broadway (close to the station), but have never gone looking for it. Not on the LT system, but I've certainly seen a plaque when driving along the south coast at Peacehaven, near Newhaven. -- Annabel Smyth http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 8 March 2004 |
